1152 Deadly Counterattack!
Even though Barcelona's attack was not successful, they were still calm and steady.
When Reina held the football and started rushing out of the penalty area, Yaya Toure, Xavi and Ibrahimovic immediately retreated backwards, but did not retreat blindly, but formed an encirclement to block Gerald and Alonso.
These two Reds players are the core of the backcourt shots that Liverpool has instigated a counterattack.
Iniesta is also approaching the middle lane, compressing the space in the middle lane.
Johnson is a player that Barcelona is not worried about. He was already a little scared when he was put into great pressure by Iniesta today.
And Messi's side seemed to be not cared about at all.
Because the whole world knows Messi's threat, Barcelona believes that Liverpool dares not take huge risks to give Messi room for freedom.
But Renner threw the ball behind Messi by throwing it!
There, Aurelio rushed forward decisively, and even Messi did not react. He was used to being guarded and surrounded. In terms of defense, his existence was a kind of restraint, and he did not need to pursue and press closely like a defensive player.
In addition, Aurelio did not advance to assist for a long time, so he naturally relaxed his vigilance.
But this time, Aurelio became a key player in Liverpool's counterattack instigation!
This is exactly the tactical change Koeman made during the half-time adjustment!
No risk-free adjustments!
The more top-notch the confrontation, every step of adjustment will inevitably bear huge risks.
Koeman is going to bet on life and death with Barcelona!
After Aurelio assisted forward, Messi behind him will be in a state of unguarded position on the right side, which is the risk!
Liverpool is willing and must bear it!
The other players who played the ball, Koeman, couldn't trust it!
Mascherano and Lucas are both in the middle of intensive defense, and their vision and environment for forward shots are not ideal. In addition, they are dedicated to defending. The effect of the ball is definitely not expected to be too high.
After the opportunity to counterattack appears, the ball must be smoothly over-propelled from the backcourt or pushed to the midfield and frontcourt, leaving only the wing road.
Johnson really can't count on it!
On the one hand, he is too far away from Qin Xiong. The connection with Torres will also be cut off by Barcelona defensive players.
At this time, only Aurelio can promote the offensive role, allowing Liverpool's counterattack to appear smoothly.
Guardiola didn't expect this. He really thought about it from a full perspective.
But at this moment, he was really surprised.
Koeman is so brave!
He really dares to bet like this!
Guardiola was playing in his heart, as if the sound was getting louder and louder, and eventually it was like thunder.
Liverpool really hit Barcelona's weak spot that was the safest, but actually the most risky one!
No head coach in the world dares or cannot expect players like Messi to do their defense well, or even pass the test, which is an excessive requirement, because players like Messi, Ronaldo and Qin Xiong have contributed to offense beyond everyone's imagination. On this basis, how can you still demand that they make efforts in defense harshly?
He wants to, this is his excellent place.
If he doesn't do it, it is reasonable to reserve energy to attack.
That's it. Under the current circumstances, Liverpool's counterattack can smoothly lead from the left to Barcelona's half.
